defining a function

(1/2) > >>

Aquilo:
I was wondering if this was a good way to call functions as you would variables, this works but under windows it returns an error thats why I used the @ with define I was just wondering if it was recommended or caused issues in scripts.

--- Code: ---<?php
@define(BAR, foo());

echo BAR;

function foo(){
return &#39;foo bar&#39;;
}
?>
--- End code ---

I can't believe that works like that.

Parham:
wait, i don't get it... why is that at all weird?

I mean if you can do this:


--- Code: ---$variable = foo();
print $variable;

function foo(){
return 'foo bar';
}

--- End code ---

why can't you define constants in the same way?

[Unknown]:
I thought this was bad though!

$variable = foo();

I thought you had to do:

$variable = 'foo';

And then:
$variable();

Parham:
oh wait, nevermind, i read the example wrong... that's pretty cool.  It doesn't define the constant as the function though (at least i think not), it processes the function and gets the return statement on the "define" line.
